madmike Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Presenting the venerable old Matchbox M40 GMC OOB (almost). This kit needed a lot of patience and no small amount of "force" to come together. Even the base had its issues with the track impressions being too narrow for the vehicle. Still here it is... I modified the gun mount to allow the gun to be elevated to around 45 degrees, its maximum elevation. Painted with Vallejo and weathered with oils and pigments. My normal model pic camera is charging so I had to take pics using my everyday camera, a Canon SX120 IS. Turned out pretty nicely even without the tripod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Looks pretty ding-dang good to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The base is what it is (in a way a rather cute attempt in making realistic terrain) but the model looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Like the weathering and the smaller details..NICE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Actually there is a fair bit of pigment added to this beast. More that is really visible. The pics do not show it so well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
